Quebec's greatest classical talents will shine in this grand concert, where the MCO will welcome some of the province's most prestigious musicians.

Harpist Valérie Milot and flutist Nadia Labrie present their nuanced understanding of Mozart in the Concerto for Flute and Harp, before giving way to young pianist Élisabeth Pion in Haydn's Piano Concerto. Twin sisters Nadia Labrie, flutist, and Annie Labrie, guitarist, will then evoke Latin American panache in the Concerto Tradicionuevo by Franco-Quebec composer Patrick Roux, conducted by Geneviève Leclair. A world premiere by Yellowknife composer Carmen Braden, Elle fait du vélo avec un violoncelle sur le dos et un bébé dans le panier, pays tribute to the life and legacy of Lotte Brott on the occasion of her centenary.

Join us for this star-studded celebration of Quebec talent, in person or via webcast!

At the start of the concert, the OCM pays tribute to the great Pauline Marois, the first woman to be elected Premier of Quebec.
